EDMONTON - The Edmonton Oil Kings werent going to let one post-season loss affect their push towards a league championship. . Martin Gernat scored twice as the Oil Kings defeated the Moose Jaw Warriors 4-1 on Friday in Western Hockey League playoff action. The series-clinching victory came one game after Moose Jaw ended Edmontons 22-game winning streak, which dated back to the regular season. "We had a much better effort tonight," said Oil Kings head coach Derek Laxdal. "Our guys did an outstanding job of responding from the game in Moose Jaw. I thought after the first period (Moose Jaw) really started to push. We got into some penalty trouble, but our power play and our penalty kill was outstanding tonight." Edmonton won the best-of-seven Eastern Conference final in five games. Michael St. Croix and Curtis Lazar also scored for the Oil Kings while Griffin Reinhart and Tyler Maxwell chipped in with two assists each.

Murray, though, wont know his opponent in the final until Sunday, as the second semifinal between reigning champion Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer was suspended because of weather in the New York area. Ferrer had opened a 5-2 lead in the first set when play was stopped. The match will resume on Sunday morning at 11am et/8am pt (streamed live on TSN.ca), and the final will take place on Monday. It will be the fifth straight Monday finish for the men at Flushing Meadows. Rain delayed the start of play Saturday for more than an hour, and with more inclement weather in the forecast, officials quickly decided to postpone the womens final -- scheduled for Saturday night -- until Sunday at 4:30pm et/1:30pm pt (TSN, TSN.ca). Murray beat the weather and Berdych, claiming a 5-7, 6-2, 6-1, 7-6 (9-7) victory on Saturday to earn a place in a Grand Slam final for the fifth time in his career. He has yet to win one, however. The Scotsman reached the 2008 U.S. Open title match and lost to Roger Federer, then fell to the Swiss superstar in the 2009 Australian Open final before also dropping the 2010 Aussie Open finale to Djokovic. Federer beat him again for the Wimbledon crown back in July, but Murray finally won a big title just a few weeks later when he denied the 17-time Grand Slam champion of a gold medal at the London Olympics. Now, another chance for Grand Slam glory. Winds were strong at Arthur Ashe Stadium oon Saturday and Murray appeared to struggle early. [url=http://www.ramsofficialteamstore.com/autographed-scott-wells-jersey-pl-43.h... Wells Jersey. "It was brutal to play in that wind," Murray said after the match. "The ball was sometimes stopping, moving the other way, and it was hard to serve, so the focus wasnt really on going for aces, just getting the first serve in. Those are probably the hardest conditions Ive ever had to play in." Despite picking up the first break of the match for a 2-1 lead, Murray gave it right back in the next game. The set remained on serve until the 12th game, when Berdych won three of the first four points. He squandered the first set point with a forehand into the net, but blasted a forehand winner on the next. Berdych captured the opening set despite 19 unforced errors, two fewer than he had in his four-set upset win over Federer in the quarterfinals. Murray then made adjustments and had little trouble over the next two sets. He broke serve twice in the second and three times in the third while never facing a break point. Each player broke once in a tight fourth set and Berdych was on the verge of forcing a fifth after racing out to a 3-0 lead in the tiebreak. Murray battled back and squared it at 5-5. A Berdych forehand error set up a match point at 7-6 for Murray, but the Czech quickly followed with an ace. Berdych then drilled a pair of forehands long on the ensuing two points to give Murray the match. Berdych finished the match with a whopping 64 unforced errors, compared to just 20 for Murray. It marked the best U.S. Open finish for Berdych, who previously had been only as far as the fourth round three times. ' ' '
